我有一个.mobi电子书文件,我正试图用C#从中提取书籍封面图片。
http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/MOBI#MOBI_Header
我假设coveroffset包含从封面图像开始的文件开头的字节数,但是当我读取它时,我只得到一些随机代码,而不是图像代码。更不用说没有图像长度,所以我甚至不知道,我应该读多少。那么如果标题信息似乎没有帮助,我怎样才能找到图像并将其取出?我知道它可以做到,因为当我将这个mobi文件放入Calibre时,它会提取并显示封面图像。

幸运的是,您提供的链接具有所有必需的信息,但文件格式的描述方式有点令人困惑...我写了以下快速&来自这些信息的脏代码,似乎可以完成这项工作。
这不是生产质量代码,因为几乎没有错误/绑定检查,但它应该让你开始。
只需调用CoverExtractor.ExtractCover
传入可搜索的流。
public class CoverExtractor

private readonly BinaryReader _reader;
private CoverExtractor(Stream mobiFile)

_stream = mobiFile;
_reader = new BinaryReader(mobiFile);
}

{
if (!BitConverter.IsLittleEndian)
throw new InvalidOperationException("You should rewrite this code if you intend to use it on a big-endian machine");
return new CoverExtractor(mobiFile).Extract();

// A MOBI file is a Palm Database file containing MOBI-specific records.
// A palm database file is a header, followed by a record list, followed by record data.
// The first record (at index 0) contains the following concatenated data:
// - The PalmDOC header
// - The MOBI header
// - An optional EXTH header
// Read the offset of the first record in the file
var firstRecordOffset = ReadPdbRecordOffset(0);
// Ignore the PalmDOC header, skip to the MOBI header at offset 16
// and make sure it starts with the ASCII text "MOBI". If it does, we have a valid MOBI file.
var mobiHeaderOffset = firstRecordOffset + 16;

// If there's no EXTH header we won't be able to tell which image is the cover.

// The EXTH header immediately follows the EXTH header, but as the MOBI header is of
// variable length, we have to calculate the EXTH header offset.

// Also, the MOBI spec says there's and end-of-file record, so the cover record won't be the last one.
// Therefore, we can get the offset of the following record to deduce the image file size.
